What Citrus Heights homeowners should know
Citrus Heights sits between downtown Sacramento and Roseville, bordered by I-80, US-50 and Highway 99. It’s a fairly young city as far as incorporation goes, becoming its own municipality on January 1, 1997, after decades as an unincorporated suburb, but the housing itself is much older. Most of the city built out in the postwar decades, and today well over half of its housing stock is single-family homes from the 1950s through the 1970s. That means original electrical panels, older roofs and aging HVAC systems are common, especially in the neighborhoods closer to Sunrise Mall and the Auburn Boulevard corridor. Citrus Heights has spent recent years on commercial redevelopment and code enforcement in some of its older retail corridors, and turnover in these older ranch-home neighborhoods is a steady source of estate sales, rental exits and as-is listings.

Why Citrus Heights owners sell as-is
1950s-70s ranch homes need updating
More than half of Citrus Heights homes are single-family houses built in the postwar decades. Many still carry original wiring, plumbing and single-pane windows. Buyers using conventional financing often can’t get a loan approved until known safety issues like old electrical panels are fixed, which pushes owners toward a cash, as-is sale instead.
Young city, older infrastructure
Citrus Heights only became its own city in 1997, decades after most of its neighborhoods were built as unincorporated Sacramento County subdivisions. Street, sidewalk and utility maintenance in some older sections still reflects that history, and code enforcement on aging rental properties and vacant homes has been an ongoing city focus.
Prop 19 and inherited homes
Under California’s Prop 19, a parent’s lower Prop 13 tax base only carries over to an heir who moves into the home as a primary residence and files for the homeowners’ exemption within a year, and even then the exclusion is capped. Keep an inherited Citrus Heights house as a rental or leave it vacant, and the county reassesses it to current market value, which is a major reason heirs choose to sell rather than hold.

Selling a house for cash in Citrus Heights
How old are most homes in Citrus Heights?
The city incorporated in 1997, but most of its housing was built decades earlier, in the postwar boom of the 1950s through the 1970s. That means original wiring, older plumbing and aging roofs are common. Many sellers with these older homes choose an as-is sale rather than pay for the repairs a conventional buyer’s lender would require.
Do I have to fix up my Citrus Heights rental before selling it?
No. California requires you to disclose known material defects, but there’s no law requiring repairs before a sale. If you’ve got a tenant-occupied or vacant older home with deferred maintenance, selling as-is to a cash buyer avoids the cost and time of bringing it up to a traditional buyer’s standards.
I inherited my parents’ Citrus Heights house. Will property taxes go up if I sell it later?
If you don’t move in and instead rent it out or leave it vacant, the county assessor reassesses the home to current market value under Prop 19, which usually raises the tax bill. Selling doesn’t change that calculation for you as the seller; it’s the ownership decision before a sale that determines whether the lower tax base carried over in the first place.
Do I pay any fees or closing costs when I sell to BAM in Citrus Heights?
No. There are no commissions or fees, and we pay all of the normal seller closing costs. The offer we make is the amount you walk away with, minus only what you owe, like a mortgage payoff or back taxes.
